CERTAIN HONEYWELL FRAM RACING BRAND HP4 AND HP8 OIL FILTERS THAT WERE MANUFACTURED FROM MAY 25, 2006, THROUGH SEPTEMBER 14, 2007, AND SOLD FOR USE AS REPLACEMENT EQUIPMENT FOR VEHICLES LIST ABOVE. THE AFFECTED FILTERS ARE MARKED WITH A DATE CODE A61451 THROUGH A72571 SEQUENTIALLY. THE DATE CODE AND PART NUMBER APPEAR ON THE FILTER HOUSING. FRAM RACING HP4 AND HP8 OIL FILTERS NOT BEARING A DATE CODE IN THIS RANGE ARE NOT AFFECTED BY THIS RECALL. THE GASKET OF THE OIL FILTER BECOMES MORE PLIABLE UNDER HIGH TEMPERATURES AND PRESSURES.
CERTAIN REPLACEMENT FUEL FILTERS, FRAM BRAND NAME P/N G3727, WITH DATE CODES X52911 THROUGH X60801 SEQUENTIALLY OR X600141 AND A MEXICO COUNTRY OR ORIGIN MARKING ON THE FUEL FILTER HOUSING MANUFACTURED FROM OCTOBER 18, 2005, THROUGH MARCH 21, 2006, SOLD FOR USE ON THE VEHICLES LISTED ABOVE AND ON CERTAIN SCHOOL BUSES. (TO SEE THE SCHOOL BUS ENGINE SIZES, CLICK ON "DOCUMENT SEARCH" AND THEN "BUS APPLICATIONS"). THE CONNECTOR ON THE FUEL FILTER WAS NOT MANUFACTURED TO HONEYWELL'S SPECIFICATION. AS A RESULT, THE O-RING MAY NOT SEAT CORRECTLY ON THE FUEL LINE.
ON CERTAIN MINIVANS, PICKUP TRUCKS, AND SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES WITH CERTAIN MODEL-ENGINE COMBINATIONS, THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR MAY FAIL DUE TO CRACKED SOLDER JOINTS ON THE CONTROLLER CIRCUIT BOARD. THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS COULD WORK INTERMITTENTLY OR NOT AT ALL.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: LIGHT DUTY PICKUP TRUCKS AND SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES, 2 AND 4-WHEEL DRIVE. SOLDER JOINTS NEAR THE WIRING HARNESS CONNECTOR CAN CRACK CAUSING THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS TO WORK INTERMITTENTLY.
THESE VEHICLES WERE ASSEMBLED WITH THE THROTTLE CABLE CONTACTING THE DASH MAT WHICH COULD BIND THE THROTTLE. THIS DOES NOT MEET WITH THE MAXIMUM RETURN TIMES REQUIRED BY FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 124, "ACCELERATOR CONTROL SYSTEMS."
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1995 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CORNER OF THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BRACKET HAD FRACTURED, WHICH CAUSED THE SEAT TO ROCK AND BECOME UNSTABLE. THE DEALER (GOOD CHEVROLET, 325 SW 12TH ST, RENTON, WA 98057, (425) 336-0640) STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNAVAILABLE.
No injuries · No fire · No crash
FRONT LEFT CORNER OF DRIVERS SEAT BROKE LOOSE AND STARTED ROCKING BACK AND FORTH. I WAS SITTING PARKED AND REACHING IN THE BACK SEAT FOR ITEM.
No injuries · No fire · No crash
MY FRONT DRIVER SEAT BRACKETS BROKE WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. THE SEAT NOW ROCKS BACK AND FORTH.
No injuries · No fire · No crash
THE FRONT SEAT BRACKET ON THE DRIVERS SIDE PULLED THROUGH THE SHEET METAL ON THE LEFT SIDE, CAUSING THE SEAT TO ROCK BACK.
No injuries · No fire · No crash
THE REAR DRIVER SIDE WINDOW BECAME INOPERABLE, FOLLOWED BY THE ENTIRE DOOR (IT WON'T OPEN AT ALL). THEN, THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WOULDN'T OPEN FROM THE INSIDE, FOLLOWED BY THE DRIVER DOOR AND RECENTLY THE PASSENGER DOOR. THE DRIVER DOOR, FRONT AND REAR PASSENGER DOORS CAN ONLY BE OPENED BY ROLLING THE WINDOW DOWN AND OPENING THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE HANDLE. WE NOTICED THAT AROUND THE SAME TIME THE DOORS WENT OUT, SO DID THE BACK BRAKE LIGHT PANELS (REPLACING THE BULBS AND HOUSING UNITS DON'T MAKE A DIFFERENCE). THE BACK BRAKE LIGHT PANELS ARE INTERMITTENT AND SEEM TO WORK ON OCCASION (IF WE HIT A BUMP OR SOMETHING). THIS IS A SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE AND I'M AFRAID WE WILL HAVE TO JUNK OUR TRUCK DUE TO IT. ARE THERE ANY OTHER TAHOE OWNERS WITH SIMILAR ISSUES? ANY RECALLS RELATED TO THESE ISSUES? THIS DOESN'T SOUND LIKE NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR RELATED ISSUES TO ME... *TR
